If you are a landlord of commercial or industrial property and your lessee goes bankrupt, or into liquidation, without the right protections, some of your assets could end up being used to pay their creditors.

Under the Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA), if an entity becomes bankrupt or goes into liquidation or voluntary administration, then an asset which is only held by that entity as a lessee, may be deemed to be an asset of the insolvent tenant.

It is common for leases of commercial and retail premises to require the tenant to pay, in addition to rent, both the tenant's own outgoings and the outgoings of the landlord.

As a landlord or a tenant, it is important that you understand precisely what your obligations are in that regard, as it is a common source of confusion and disputes between parties to leases.

What Are the Different Types of Commercial Leases?

There are several different types of commercial leases, each tailored to the specific needs and uses of the tenant. The primary types of commercial leases include: 

  • Commercial Lease: A commercial lease is a contract used for renting non-residential properties for various business purposes. It can cover office spaces, warehouses, or other commercial buildings. 
  • Industrial Lease: Industrial leases are designed for businesses engaged in manufacturing, warehousing, or distribution activities. These leases often include provisions related to specialised equipment, loading facilities, and environmental considerations. 
  • Retail Lease: Retail leases are used when the tenant operates a retail business, such as a shopfront or restaurant. They commonly feature location-specific requirements and may include terms related to common area maintenance, percentage rent, and signage.
  • Retirement Village Lease: Whilst there are many ways in which the operators of retirement villages structure their offerings, often contracts relating to retirement villages can be structured for the sale of the right to reside in the unit by way of a lease agreement, rather than purchasing the real property.
